“…The growth of low level of self-efficacy can make individuals better use of the social support around them and believe in their ability to regard demands as challenges rather than treats (Weber et al, 2013). Similarly, a study (Tao et al, 2022) found that hope protected individuals from depression by enhancing social support (including the SSA dimension). Another study (Zhao et al, 2018) showed that resiliency moderated the relationship between social support and depressive symptoms.…”

IntroductionAnxiety often precedes depression, and the pathway from anxiety to depression may be affected by multiple exposures. Our research aims to explore the mediating effect of the social support availability (SSA) between anxiety and depression and how it is moderated by psychological capital.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among Chinese emergency physicians at the top-level general hospitals in eastern China. Data were collected via the questionnaire including anxiety and depression subscales of Symptom Checklist-90, Psychological Capital Questionnaire as well as Social Support Rating Scale. The PROCESS v3.4 macro was employed to assess the mediating role of SSA and a moderating role of psychological capital.ResultsA total of 536 valid samples were filtered. Anxiety, depression, SSA, and psychological capital were significant correlated. Anxiety was positively associated with depression (β = 0.82, p < 0.001), and the SSA mediated the relationship between anxiety and depression (indirect effect = 0.013, 95%BootCI [0.005, 0.023]). Psychological capital (specifically, self-efficacy, hope and resilience) further played a moderating role in the relationship between SSA and depression (β = 0.06, p < 0.01).ConclusionThe mental health of emergency physicians should be concerned. In order to decrease anxiety and depression, SSA and psychological capital should be increased as the interventions for emergency physicians.

“…Twenty‐six studies were quantitative designs and were conducted in mainland China ( n = 18), Taiwan ( n = 6), and the USA ( n = 2). Among them, five studies explored spiritual needs (Cheng et al, 2018; Deng et al, 2015; Du et al, 2022), spiritual state (Cheng et al, 2019), and spiritual nursing needs (Li et al, 2017); 11 studies examined the correlation between spiritual aspects and other variables (Chang et al, 2022; Cho & Lu, 2017; Feng et al, 2021; Guo et al, 2022; Kao et al, 2013; Li et al, 2012, 2022; Tao et al, 2022; Wang & Lin, 2016; Yang et al, 2021; Yeung et al, 2014); seven studies were conducted to translate spirituality‐related instruments originally developed in Western countries into Chinese for use with Chinese people with cancer (Astrow et al, 2012; Lin et al, 2015; Liu et al, 2016; Lo et al, 2016; Tang & Kao, 2017; Xie et al, 2019; Zhao et al, 2019); and three studies aimed to examine the effects of interventions on the spirituality of Chinese people with cancer (Chen et al, 2021; Sun et al, 2021; Xiao et al, 2022). One study with a mixed methods design was conducted in mainland China to explore the quality of life (including a spiritual dimension) of breast cancer survivors (Cheng et al, 2016).…”

AimTo elucidate how the concept of spirituality has been addressed in studies with Chinese people with cancer.DesignA scoping review.MethodsPatterns in conceptual definitions of spirituality and indicators for measuring spirituality were analysed.Data Sources (Include Search Dates)Literature published from inception to August 2022 was searched in five electronic databases (CINAHL, PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO and a Chinese database).ResultsUsing data from 10 qualitative studies, a new taxonomy of concepts of spirituality among Chinese people with cancer was derived, consisting of four categories: Creation of meaning, Connection, Transcendence and Existence. A total of 12 instruments developed outside of Chinese contexts and used to measure dimensions of spirituality across 27 quantitative studies were compared to the taxonomy developed in this review, and patterns were identified according to the dimensions of spirituality. Several instruments required modifications or additional explanations in questions regarding God/Higher Power and religion.ConclusionThe four categories of spirituality classified in the current review are considered universal across all cultural contexts. Spirituality is multidimensional and functional concept, and the components of the instruments differed depending on which dimension of spirituality was being measured.ImpactThe findings of this study suggest that for measuring spirituality in research and clinical settings with Chinese people with cancer, it is important to use culturally appropriate scales that are consistent with the dimensions of spirituality being measured.Implications for the Profession and/or Patient CareEven instruments developed outside of the Chinese context could be used for Chinese people with cancer if appropriately selected for their intended use.Reporting MethodThis paper adheres to the EQUATOR guidelines and has no direct patient or public contribution.

“…SSRS scores <33 mean low social support, between 33 and 45 indicates moderate social support, and >45 is high social support. The reliability and validity were confirmed to be good, with Cronbach’s α ranging from 0.825 to 0.896 in older adults ( 23 ).…”

ObjectiveThis study investigates the prevalence of everyday functional impairment among older adults with schizophrenia and builds a predictive model of functional decline.MethodsA total of 113 hospitalized older patients enrolled in this study. Functional impairment is defined according to the Functional Activities Questionnaire (FAQ). Patients who scored <9 could function independently daily, while those who scored ≥9 had problems in everyday functional activities. Data collected include sociodemographic characteristics, depressive symptoms, social support, and physical comorbidities, which were classified according to the eight anatomical systems of the human body.ResultsThe sample comprised 75% female participants with a mean age of 63.74 ± 7.42 years old. A total of 33.6% had a functional impairment, while cognitive impairment was present in 63.7%. Independent participants had better urinary system and respiratory system health (P < 0.05). After adjusting for the potential confounders of age, disease course, physical comorbidities, psychiatric symptoms, the ability to independently carry out daily activities, and cognitive function, we found that impaired everyday function is associated with poor cognition, depressive symptoms, first admission, psychiatric symptoms (especially positive symptoms), ADL, and respiratory and urinary system diseases.ConclusionEveryday functional capacity is predicted by disease course, admission time, cognition, depressive symptoms, severity of psychosis, ability to carry out daily activities, and respiratory and urinary system health status. Urinary system diseases contribute significantly to the prediction of impaired function. Future studies should focus on health status, drug use, and everyday functional recovery in older patients with schizophrenia.
